Because I have so many roses, the only winterizing I can do is to dump leaves on it so at best they have an extra few inches of protection. There will be some dead to prune off but compared to others not very much. It will usually be snowline hardy for sure with maybe a little bit above surviving. Don't know what it will do this year as we have had wierd temperatures and little snow. This is one of the hardiest and one of the most disease resistant hybrid teas I have grown here in Iowa.

Mine is own root that I got from Vintage Gardens about 5 years ago. It does well own root although I have heard that it would be bigger if grown on multiflora rootstock (this is just a general statement about Brownell roses). On it's own roots and grown in amended clay soil it grows to about 3 feet X 3 feet. It has great branching and a well rounded form. Everything is nice about it... except those thorns.
